A BANKRUPT, WORLD.
That the monetary cahimity which has now
extended all, over the Union will more or
ass affect France and England, and other
civilized nations, scarcely admits of a doubt.
The r connections of trade between our own
and distant countries have become at once so
vast and so complicated, that the blow struck
'At one extreme, almost instantly vibrates to the
other, disturbing and unsettling nearly every
'intermediate relation ,of :businees, from the
highest to the humblest. ' This truth opens to
us a new lesson of our importance to the great
brotherhood of our rice, and of duties and.
responsibilities which render every step we
take intensely
,interesting to ,every family
in the world.
The fact that our present disaster began in
the United States will undoubtedly be made
:,the-subject of much unfriendly and depre
ciating comment in thi European journals;
and from this it will assuredly, result in injury,
to the reputation of our merchants and our
Government. But there are some aspects of
the question that may not be inappropriately,
' alluded to here. '
And first—the railroad mania is not alone
indigenous to the United' States. Great Bri
tain herself, years ago, set an example in that
direction, which, while it covered thousands
'el ber own people with ruin, was speedily fol
lowed by France, and by the Mower nationali
ties of the Continent. The 'arttcle;, from the
London Times of ,the 28d of September,
written • before the news of the collapses
of our railroad' securities, presents a can
- did 'and a philosophical view ,of French
enthusiasm for , speculation, and particu
larly in railroad ;romances. The', famous
: Credit ldbirilier, so much vaunted, at first, as
the chef d' mare of Napoleonic •skill and
foresight, like all other attempts, eapecially.by
• Government, ,to build permanent prosperity
upon a credit basis, is toppling to ruin, drag
, ging with it thousands whose little and great
• 'all had been confided to its delusive but treach
erous keeping. The other - invention; called
..The Cause Generale des Chemins de Fer," or,
Anglicised; the "General Railroad Bank or
Establishment," was set up as a rival to the
Credit Mobilier, and was founded on Spanish
loans and railways, and Is rushing with even
more 'rapidity to its catastrophe. This story
is plainly told by the London Times, and
answers the double; purpose of showing how
Much foreign folly has had to do with the pre=
sent bankruptcy of the world, and also of once
more illustrating the certain fatal results of all
-.efforts of the Government to assist or restrain
private operationsin basiness. For evidence of
the wisdom of the forbearance of Government
in all such movements, the Independent Tree
story stands forth as a monument of sagacious
statesmanship and sublime precaution.
And where have the wild enterprises of our
railroad speculators been more wildly assisted
than in Great Britain ? Where did the epecnt
lators flock for credit and for, money but to the
• English fund market?' I;eit to the United
• States they never could have run the headlong
career that has involved so many great interests
• in ruhr., But they crossed '
the Atlantic; and
shrewd and cautious John Bull heard theirstate
ments, and not willing to take all for granted,
• sent his beat agents to this country to ascertain
the truth of these statements. The result was
that the agents became as crazy as the specu
lators themselves. These are facts' as well
known abroad as they are notorious at home:
So that the responsibility for the bankruptcy
of the world is reasonably well'divided. What;
however, is the other side? .To the United
States belongs incontestably the credit of havi
ing given the first• great impetus 'to trade
by its gold mines in Galiforniaan impetus;
it 'is true, from Which innumerable' schemes of
mere speculation have grown, but the gold
mines remain, and their increasing products are
chronicled every fortnight. Nor is this all.,
In the, midst of the complaints of the,
English journals • and English .• bond-holders;
the cotton of the United States, at 01300,
our great Southern staple, and the pro.;
tection of Great Britain from domestic tumult
and social . disorder, is relied upon in thin
hour of adversity by the British manufacturers
• with the fullest confidence. It is stated that
the cotton supply is low ha the great menufac.j.
taring towns of Great Britain; and if- so; ,
there can be little doubt that English capital
will soon appear to hurry forward the, new,
, crop to our sea-board, 'for `transhipment to
Liverpool at the earliest moment. Without,
this sure reliance, bow long could the British
' Government maintain itself against the theo.'
ries and revulsion from other countries, alwayti,
sure to follow in the wake of a' bankruntoyi
as universal as that which now threatens us ?
In one respect the United States 'occupy a
most enviable present position. The fabric;
of our Union stands firm in the midst of the i
wreck of individual fortunes that surrounds
it. Its own credit is ,high and iniulner-',
able, thanks to the glorious system , of
keeping the national revenues out of the;
banks. There may be turbulence in the great;
eitiei ; there may be • crowds of discharged-
workingmen and women ',thrown out of work,'i
'eager for bread ; there may be unexampled:
. distress in the coming winter, which God, in 1
his mercy, avert ; but the love of' the masses
' for the Constitution cannot be abated. Happy
'
in the fact that none of our sufferings have ;
' grown iron( the' Government; Itappy in the,
confidence that surrounds 'our venerable Chief
Magistrate; thrice happy in the complete over.l

that threatens the ,Governments of the Old;

flow. The want of credit Europe leads'
;
to a want of work; that want of work to a went
, bread; atterthis cOmes, eombination among
the laboring classes, and finally , revolution and i

THE CLOSE OF THE KANSAS CATAS•
TROPHE.
. .
r Eight months have elapsed since Presi
dent BUCHANAN assumed the reins of power;
eight months since he enunciated his determi
nation to apply the test that "the majo
rity should rule," to the conflict in Kansas,
and scarcely three months since ROBERT J.
WALKER, a native of Pennsylvania, accepted
the position of Governor of Kansas, and pro
ceeded to the scene of his duties, armed with
the instructions of the general Administration.
Whatever maybe the future party position of
Kansas, the fact is established that the majo
rity of the people can vote uninterrupted by
Intruders• from other distant or adjoining
States. The trial has been made, and made
successfully. Whether the Convention which
frames the Constitution •of the new State of
Kansas, and which is to assemble in October,
shall decide to submit that instrument to the
people of Kansas or not—and we demand that
good faith requires that
.it should be so sub
mitted—the power of the people over that
and all other questions, either before the
State is admitted into the 'Union, or imme
diately and always after it, is absolutely
assured.
We are a good deal surprised that the peace
ful progress of the settlement of the difficul
ties in Kansas has not extorted a more general
and frank admission of the fact from those of
the opposition journals which lay claim to can
dor, and which are apt, in the absence of can
dor in their adversaries, to become so indig
nant. These journals commit a grand mis
take in withholding the meed of justice to the
Administration for the course it has pursued, in
defiance of the denunciations of extremists,
North and South, on this vexed question.
They may rest assured that their course does
not meet the approval of the people at large.
In the healing up of adverse organizations—in
the overthrow of the Republicans in most of
the States'which they have heretofore con
trolled, honest men, everywhere, must admit
that the course of the Administration•in Kan
sas has made a profound impression, and that•
henceforth it will be impossible to rally even a
respectable number of votes upon the exploded
cries of 1856. It is amazing that the organs
of opposition politics do not see that in with
holding their deserved commendations of the
course of Mr. Bncuszult, they are furnishing
their own friends with an evidence of their
own injustice.
WHO FLOURISH IN THE MIDST OF DIM-
TRESS T
While the pulpit rings with appeals to the
people—while the press forgets personalities
and politico in its invocations to reform and
retrenchment—while the ablest statesmen aro
deliberating upon the best plan to relieve the
almost universal suffering—men ask each
other who is it that flourishes in the midst of our
distress 1 Let those who feel curious to know
pay a visit to that portion of our city which is
frequentedby the holders of depreciated paper
currency, and they will find there the strug
gling mechanic, the poor stricken widow, the
pale and nervous merchant, and the manufac
turer eager to save his workmen from want,
waiting impatiently to obtain redeemable funds
and pay the enormous discount demanded by.
the brokers.
It is said that it is an ill wind that blows no
body any good, and the disaster that now
broods over Philadelphia, while it rains dis
comfort and discontent into thousands of
families, brightens and elevates the crests of
those who prosper by furnishing the needful
exchange to the community. We are not of
Those who regard brokers as an unmitigated
evil to society. We know there are very
many good men among them;and that it can
not be doubted, were it not for such as these
latter, that the roguei of the profession would
have things all their own way.
Our object is simply to show that the worst
curse of paper currency, except utter repuditti
tion itself, is the enormous wealth it pours
into the coffers of those who, having hoarded
their capital for the storm, go outto prey upon
society without the slightest visitings of re
morse. The example we are now having
taught to us all should animate us to renewed
efforts to restore confidence as soon as possi
ble, and to prepare for that thorough modifies:
tion of the entire banking system that will
render if impossible for such another calamity
to overtake us as that of which we now comb
plain.
RETRENCHMENT.
The proprietors of the Girard House have
decided to reduce the price of board on and
after Monday next, from $2.50 to $2 per day.
This is a step in the right direction, and we
are glad thatMesars. PREBI3IIIIS, SYKES, & Co. i
have been prompt to make it. Tho necessity
of retrenchment is universally felt, and quite
as severely by those who have been the patrons
of the leading hotels of the country as by any
other portion of the community. The price
of provisions of some kinds has already great;
ly fallen, and it is not likely that any Important
supplies will long maintain their former hie'
rates—so that the principal cause which justi
fied heavy hotel bills has been removed.
Henceforth retrenchment will bo the watch
word of the great mass of the community.
Hard as it will be to dispense with luxuries
which custom has almost made necessities, the
public will feel compelled to do without them
unless their prices are reduced—and those de
pending upon the people for custom will evince
the greatest wisdom who are the earliest to
discover and the most ready to regulate theft
terms in accordance with this obvious truth;
EY.GOVERNOR SEYMOVR, OF NEW
YORK.
Ex-Governor SEYMOUR has written a letter
to the Now York Tribune in regard to a para
graph in its columns concerning his action, in
which ha uses the following language. We
like the tone and temper of Governor SEY-
Noun's letter, and those who do not approve
his opinions cannot fail to entertain the same
feeling :
I am not,the agent nor attorney of the coun
try banks ; neither have I In any way obtruded.
my opinions upon Gov. King with regard to an
extra session of the Legislature; nor am I advised
of any communication which may have been made,
to him on the subtect. At the request of some gen
tlemen from the interior, I went with them to a
meeting of the bank offioors of the city, for the
purpose of devising some plan for bringing forward
the grain of the West, to prevent the great calami
ties which threaten this city if its unemployed
population shall be compelled to pay high prices
for food. ' The necessity for a suspension of specie
payments is a matter of great regret. 1 do not
know what course Governor King will take in this
time of general distress and embarrassment, but
whatever his policy may be, I shall feel it to be my
duty to strengthen his hands and not embarrass
his notion. I have seen too much of the evils
which grow out of misrepresentations of the con
duct and motives of public officers to sanction any
conduct of the kind. I era not authorized to speak
for the Demooratio party, bet I know that those
who hies lately placed in nomination a candidate
for the fart of Appeals because they would not
assail iiii.fiadependellee of the Judiciary althbuglt
ho had felt it his duty to make a decision Unwel
come and, injurious to them, will not be guilty of
any factious polio at a pertod when the 'farmers;

of employment and food. llonarre Scruoun. '

FROM WASHINGTON
Rumors of Dissensions In the Cabinet Un.
founded—Treasurer's Weekly Statement—
Appointmenti—Cases before the Naval Courts
of Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 1857.
The rumors which have been published lately,
to the effect that there was dissension in the Cabi
net of President Euenenan, have not the least
foundation in truth. It was stated that differences,
on material points, existed between the Secretary
of the Navy and the Secretary of the Treasury,
and between the latter and Mr. BUCUANAN him
self. Such is not, and has not been, the fact.
From the very beginning of the present Adminis
tration, so far as I can learn, perfect harmony of
action on the great national issues of the day has
aharnoterised the President and his Cabinet.
Subjoined is the very latest weekly statement of
the Treasurer of the United States :

Special Report of the Committee on City Pro
perty, relative to Sedvley Park.
To the Select and Common Councils of the City
of Philadelphia:—Tito Committee on City Pm•
party beg leave respectfully to report:
That they have had again under careful consideration
the subject of Sedgeley Park and its presentation to the
City of Philadelphia as the generous gift of a number of
our most valued citizens They have been induced thug
to review their former action by the boldness of violence
of the language in which the purity of the motives and
the Integrity of the conduct of the gentlemen who
united in presenting this property to the city was as
sailed upon the floor of the Common Conned at the
meeting held on the Bth inst. Imputations like these,
thrown out in tho progress of heated dissuasion, and
wholly uneustained except by violent declamation and
reckless assertion, would, under ordinary circumstances,
merit no turtber attention than the salutary rebuke ad
ministered to their author in the progress of the debate;
but in this instance the Committee on CI y Property,
which earnestly recommended the acceptance of the gift,
have felt that it was due alike to the committee • to the .
citizens who gave, and to the citizens who, in all time,
may enjoy the noble gift, that assaults such as those
whieh were made open the motives and the characters of
these generous clizens should have on the records of
the Council an tnanswerable refutation.
Sedgeley Park, containing thirty-three three, and ad
joining Lemon IM/ on the north, was presented to the
city in the moats of March, 1857, by citizens who vol.
untarily gave le cash $OO,OOO toward! its purchase, and
then conveyed the premises, subject to the balance of
the purchase snowy, ($05,000) as a free gift to the citi
zens of Philadelpkia, to bo used no a Park, la convection
nth Fairmont Park, for the health and enjoyment of
all the people forever. In combination with the city
grounds at Fairmount, which embraces twenty-four
acres, Fairmount Park, which contains forty-five acres,
and the grounds of the Spring Garden Water Works;
which confetti eight and a half acres of ground, the
Sedgeley Park estate fornm a park upon the banks of
the Schuylkill of one hundred and ten and a half acres,
extending from Callorthill street on the south, (with
the interruption of a small plena of wharf property at
and adjaceet to Coates street,) to a point more than a
mtlo northwanl of the dam. ludependently of the re
markable natural adaptation of these beautiful grounds
to the purposes of a noble park, they constitute the
bank of the Schuylkill, and their possession by the city
insures the purity of the water in the Fairmount basin,
Is hose border they constitute for a mile above the dam.
It was the design of the citizens who presented these
premises to gather by subscription the entire purchase
money, but their efforts were not succeseful, and their
original contract mitts Mr. Dreer, which contemplated
the payment in cash of the eutire purchase money,
was modified so that the cash payment was placed at
$60,000, and the balance was suffered to remain on mort
gage upon ea.y terms of payment. As the premises
were free from encumbrance in the hands of their , own
er, Mr. Dreer, with the exception of $11,000; and they
were to be presented to the city subject to $OO,OOO of the
purchase money, the balance of the encumbrance was
divided into two parts, and charged upon different por
tions of the premises. To relieve the city of Philadel
phia from giving her bonds for these balances of the
purchase money, the premises were charged by Mr.
Dreer himself with these two mortgages, (making, with
the $ll,OOO mortgage, the balance of the encumbrance,

[For The Preis ]
'• THE REMEDY FOR THE READING
RAILROAD COMPANY."
Under this head a gratuitous attack has been
made upon Mr. R. D Cullen, President of the
Reading Railroad, by Junius & Co --evidently a
firm who have a deep interest, beside the welfare
of either the road or its stockholders, in displacing
the present President. The MeCalmonts did not
seek their investment in the Reading Railroad,
but they were sought for it; and having, with
their friends, become deeply involved in its for
tunes, it is reasonable to suppose they.would re
quire some one in its management in whom they
had unlimited confidence. Worse than Know-
Nothingism, which does not proscribe foreigners
in the business relations of our country, Junius &
Co. are evidently so full of bitterness because the
President of the Reading Railroad happens to be
a native of a country to which we owe fully four
hundred millions of dollars—a debt of our own
seeking, and opposed, as lee admit, to a judicious
policy in our past—they are ready to condemn
him.
Between Mr. Tucker, Mr. Cullen, and the other
managers of the Reading Railroad, there apparent
ly existed the utmost harmony and confidence, and
they were expressed by the frequent election of
Mr. Cullen as manager, subsequently as Vice-
President, and finally as President of the Railroad.
Wes there any dissatisfaction between those gen
tlemen, in all their apparent harmony and confi
dence, not disclosed? From the tenor of the re
marks of Junius & Co., we would be led to think
so. At any rate, the utmost good feeling was ma
nifested toward, and extended to Mr. Tucker;
thus exhibiting to the world a reciprocal confi
dence, and disarming public opinion of every
weapon of warfare for aggression upon either of
the gentlemen, till the arsenal of Junins & Co. was
opened, and its weapons were brought into service
against one of the parties. The ammunition, in
part, comes from a reputed meeting, in which one
of the objects disclosed, in times of embarrassment
like these, is the changing the freight depot from
Mount Carbon, its present location, to Pottsville;
a method for effecting which, and continuing the
power to the " middle-men," it is supposed can be
best effected by superseding the present President
of the Reading Railroad, by some other.
The policy of Junius & Co., so far as we can
comprehend it, is " to rule or ruin," and the great
lever for ruling is evidently the reinstation of Mr.
John Tucker es President of the Reading Railroad
Company. The bona fide stockholders of the cons
pony perfectly comprehend the condition of the
road, the character of its management, their exact
relation to it, and the amount of confidence to
which the present president and managers are
entitled. If we are correctly informed—and the
information is from the highest authority—Mr.
Cullen is pursuing jest such a coarse as ultimately
to merit and receive the confidence of the whole
coal interest of Schuylkill county.
Tho effort to throw discredit upon Mr. Cullen,
and hence the management of this road, for its
hare in the depression of every interest in our
land, is based upon the flimsiest pretexts that
could be arrayed; as the cause is too plain to be
overshadowed by such an effect as diminished re
venues in times like these
Tho president of the Reading Railroad is not only
n thorough accountant, but a superior business man,
one who will achieve his purpose—the prosperity
of the road over which he presides—by the applica
tion of correct principles to the conduct of the
great work committed to his charge, and not by
the Uandishmentsof manner, or by eitherlargeases
or comessions designed to effect a reacznentary pope-
larity or purpose nt the expense of an enduring
advantage or interest. No stock jobber himself, he
has not tad, and can have, no motive for initiating
or scouting any temporary system of expedients,
by whichto deceive the stockholders or the public,
and lieheoinduce a fictitious value for the stock ;
but under‘is management the Reading Railroad
will stand Ern its merits, which will be satisfac
torily established at a fature day by the exhibi
tion of diminished and unnecessary expenses, and
the abolishment of all special largesses, indadicen
cies, and drawbaeki, which have overshadowed a
•deserved populariti, which is brightening, in the
estimation of' the candid and discriminating in the
mining region, every day.
As the human ,hdgment is not infallible, it may
be aided by the dilly experience which a sound
and analyzing mild deduces from passing economy 1
or events, and ibm which the president of the
Reading Rallrod will undoubtedly derive much
useful knowled and instruction. He may have
1 3
erred in yield gup the wharves at Richmond to
n monopoly, w h directed the trade of the miner,
who acts as hi, own merchant, to another cum
;
pony, becaura equal facilities at the shipping
point on the. Delaware were denied to him ; but,
if we arenotnaisinfertned, the experience of the
past will elect any such mistake •in the future.
It was a g at and powerful interest that de
manded tai oncession, and one that was, conse
quently,calculated—with its practical work
ings and c sequences undeveloped—to succeed
in its dome . But, between the States of this
Union in th njoyment of privileges dispensed by
~..1
corporation here can be no better doctrine then
free trade a equal rights, and though combina
tions may -e successfully ignored them hereto
fore, and threaten to interpose obstacles to
them bores r, they are the only true basis for
success. j '
With a reViniof confidence, and hence the in
dustry of the sultry, upon whatever basis, it will
be found tha th Reading Railroad Company
could not hav4,bea, nor can it be placed in better
hands than three vetch now manage it.
Taking into ;ieache last depression of business
—ripened into a malion throughout our whole
country, and adtetit; eteryinterest—the Reading
Railroad will extibitquie as favorable a result as
can bo anticipred—slaidating the fact that the
object of the musagenut has been profit, instead
of the exhibition of Manisa tonnage.

A Remarkable Cate
A correspondent of the Albany Evening Jour
nal gives the particulars of a visit to Mrs. Hays,
of Helicon, Warren county, N. Y.. who is known
in that region as "the woman that lives without
0114 " The. woman. it appears, is in a diseased
condition, and subject to almost continuous spasms
of great violence, and from the description given,
of the most heart-rending character to witness.
The is titer says
:the h long-soutinned spells of raising
l-r Lody up then throwing herself back so as to
'tile the top of her bead upon the bed—thus
bringing ber feet and face so near together as to
force .e entioAtele with her body. Sometimes her
heed b,endr two bark so that the line of her
fe •e , would he rei ersed. and would rest upon the
pillar Then ohs wool I striirliten out again. and
he the most frrsible agitation of her
triple frame—a violent quiver—a rapid spasmodic
action of every nerve and muscle, with strangling
and gasping for breath. like a person in the
last agonies of Meath. This strangling and gasp
ing is in consequence of Suspended respiration dar
ing the period her head is so forcibly drawn book.
At one time she remained in that position twenty
minutes; twelve minutes were the longest while I
was with her I applied a looking-glass to her
face as a test, but could see no evidence of her
breathing. She does not now usually remain in
those peculiar spasms longer than from three to
five minutes. During a space et three week& they
estimated that she went through with these me
tiers at least once a minute on an average. The
statement they gave me would make much more
than that. One day, on which they kept some
count, there were not less than three thousand Ave
hundred of these spasms.
" The least particle of food taken into the room
well produce violent heaving anti retching. I sim
ply handled bread, and then went near the bed,
and it pnwlueed heaving which was alarming. I
sprinkled an impalpable and almost imperceptible
powder of rarrharzem lards upon her tongue, and
it produced violent hearing, which lasted over an
hour "
The writer says he has convincing proof that
this woman has neither eaten nor drank from
about the 20th of February to September
when he saw her ; and she has not eaten more than
a healthy person would eat at a single meal since
the 28th of done, 1855.
A GREAT TELEGRAPH Sr - Tr.—The New York
Evening Pon gives the following as the result, as
decided bythe New York Court of Appeal, of •
great telegraph suit brought by Prof. Morse and
Alfred Vail again -- F. O.J. Smith, which has been
traversing the courts since 1851: "In the opinion
given by the court on appeal, several items claimed
by the defendant as a set-off are reserved for far
ther argument. The claims allowed are those
which were for the most part admitted by the de
fendant, and amount altogether to the sum of
510,000. Those disallowed, (and the value of
which is distinctly stated in the oomplaint,) amount
to 3320,613.75: but besides these there &instill two
items. which added to the above, make the whole
amount of the claim disallowed by the mart nearly
$,:.015,000 In regard to the equity of the claim
made against the defendant for balance due on
the Milwaukee telegraphic line, and which ha de
clares is cancelled by the assignment to the plain
tiffs of the Louisville and New Orleans line, the
court reserves itself, but strongly intimates that
Smith ought to have this stock issued and delivered
to the plaintiffs."
The total number of persons discharged
from stores., factories, foundries, and workshops, in
New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City, sinee the
beginning of the financial panic. is stated to be
12,468. These figures, however, give no idea of
the number of persons who are left without em
ployment by the pressure of the times.
